Chapter 158: Mountains and Rivers
Wang Xiujuan knew that Lai Pozi and the others were making dry food to send to Ma Honglin and them, and when she thought that their food was all exchanged for drawings, she couldn't use drawings every time she needed to buy something, right?
So she thought of a way and gave a few small jars of chili sauce, which looked useless on a hot day now, but when it came to winter, especially for the soldiers in the north, this chili was too useful for them.
Eating it can get rid of a lot of cold.
Maybe they'll be able to use it and come back in exchange for some of the supplies that are in short supply.
As long as Chang Yuan himself was born in the north, he should know what this thing is useful for after eating it.
Of course, liquor can also ward off the cold, but that thing needs food!
Although there are still few chili peppers, they continue to bear fruit, and the seeds produced are also increasing, and sooner or later they can be supplied and sold.
After listening to Ning Qingxi tell him Wang Xiujuan's thoughts, Ning Changrong nodded.
"That's okay, your milk is quite business-minded, but we bought a lot of grain this time, if we plant it, as long as the number of people does not grow too exaggerated all of a sudden, it is estimated that we can be self-sufficient in the future, and we don't need to buy it again."
Ning Changrong's voice paused and said:
"But this is a way to get rich, there is no shortage of food for the time being, and we can also exchange it for silver." The glass thing is flashy, it can be sold for a good price in the prosperous era, and now there are wars everywhere, who is rare about this thing?
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, this is basically the truth.
At the moment, silver and grain are hard currency.
Glass beads can only be sold at a good price if they meet a rich man.
Ning Qingxi sat aside, "Let's not stock up on more food, are we prepared?" "Tomorrow and accidents, I really can't tell who will arrive first.
Ning Changrong smiled, "What we think here is quite beautiful, I don't know if people want it." We'll talk about that then. ”
Chang Yuan exchanged such a large amount of grain for him, they themselves would definitely not be able to get too much grain in a short period of time, and it was estimated that if they were willing, they should have to wait for the weather to be colder and buy it with silver.
Ning Qingxi had a sad face on his face, "It's too difficult, the glass can't be sold, and the chili peppers are also difficult to sell." ”
She turned her head to Ning Changrong with an unyielding expression, "Dad, can't that glass bead really be sold?" ”
To be honest, this thing can't be sold, Ning Changrong also has some regrets, "Anti-normal Yuan definitely can't be sold here." ”
Ning Qingxi's eyes lit up, "General Chang can't afford it, maybe anyone in his city can afford it!" ”
Ning Changrong looked thoughtful, "It's possible. ”
Wang Xiujuan walked over after arranging for this batch of grain to be put into storage, "What are you two talking about?" Evergreen, it's getting dark right now, so hurry up and bring someone to pull the last batch up. I'm going with you, and I'm going to meet people anyway. ”
Ning Changrong put down the water bowl in his hand and stood up from the ground, "We were discussing the matter of the glass beads just now, okay, let's not talk about it for the time being, let's go, mother, you go down with me." ”
"Xixi, you don't have to go down, if there is anything on your third aunt's side, you can go and help."
After Ning Changrong finished speaking, he followed Wang Xiujuan and a group of people and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.
Wang Xiujuan walked on the road and glanced at the burden on Ning Changrong and Ning Daniu, "Have you taken all the things?" ”
Ning Daniu smiled honestly, "Don't worry, auntie, just a few burdens, how can you still leak it?" ”
Ma Honglin had already asked the whole army to pack up almost, just waiting for Ning Changrong and them to move the last batch of grain away and set off.
Ning Changrong walked in front, he pointed ahead, "Mother, the front is it." ”
Ma Honglin watched Ning Changrong bring people over, and before he could speak, Ning Changrong took the lead in introducing him.
"Brother Ma, this is my mother, thinking that this is our last trip, she wants to come down to meet a few brothers no matter what."
Wang Xiujuan smiled kindly, "How can you say that you have also helped our family a lot this time, my old wife should come over to thank you, but the above is too busy, and it is really rude to come here now." ”
Ma Honglin smiled heartily: "Auntie, you're welcome, didn't we still eat the meat bun you sent?" It's fragrant! Our brothers love to eat! ”
Wang Xiujuan pointed to the burden on Ning Changrong and the others, "You can eat it if you like it, the conditions are limited, we don't have any meat there, I asked you to prepare these cakes for you to eat on the road." ”
Saying that, she also took out a small jar of chili sauce from her baggage, "This thing is called chili, my son accidentally bought it from the hands of the merchant of the Western Regions, spicy rice, you can also drive away the cold by eating a few bites in winter, and there are not many plants, so I can only send you a few jars first, and you can eat cakes on the way." There are also the three altars that I gave to Mrs. Fu, and General Rauma helped my wife and son hand them over. ”
Ma Honglin took the chili sauce from Wang Xiujuan's hand, looked at it curiously, took it to his subordinates, and hugged his fist at Wang Xiujuan, "Thank you, auntie, then I will accept it with a thick face." In fact, this trip is where the responsibility lies, and the eldest mother should be so grateful. ”
Wang Xiujuan smiled when she heard this: "My duty is there, but I didn't ask you to help pick up my father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”
Ma Honglin nodded secretly in his heart, and he had a very good impression of this family.
After handing over the burden and snorting a few words, Ning Changrong began to take people on the last trip.
A few people carried two bags and went up the mountain first, and Ning Changrong was the last one.
He reported to Ma Honglin and a few soldiers, "Brother Ma and brothers, we are far away, and we will meet again." ”
Ma Honglin was dressed in armor and stood in front of the whole army that set off.
He also hugged his fist at Ning Changrong, "Brother Ning, Brother Da Niu, Aunt Wang, then we will go first." ”
After Ning Changrong turned around, he followed Ning Da Niu who stayed behind, carried the grain on the ground and walked towards the mountain.
After the last batch of grain was put into storage, Wang Xiuzhen ordered people to start sprinkling lime around it to prevent the grain from getting wet.
Ning Changrong was waiting for someone to start clearing the stampede marks on the mountain.
Village Chief Ning was smiling brightly in front of the full cement warehouse when people were sprinkling lime.
From now on, they will be counted as staying in this mountain!
He won't do anything else, and there is also an Evergreen family in terms of management, but after a lifetime of farming, he can still handle it.
After supervising the departure of the lime sprinklers, he himself dropped the lock in front of the gate before leaving, intending to see which plots of land were suitable for farming.
The soil in this mountain is very fertile, and it is very suitable to choose a few pieces, and Wang Xiujuan handed over the matter of wheat planting to the village chief Ning.
The weather is still a little hot, so you can plant a season of winter wheat and harvest a batch of grain before winter.
None of these people have ever been hit by rice, and Wang Xiujuan is personally responsible for rice planting.
